Left ventricular reconstruction after resection of a large fibroma

J M Grinda et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

Cardiac fibromas are rare tumors that are histologically benign but potentially lethal because of their location. The prognosis is related to complete resection. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy who, 1 year after partial excision of a large fibroma, underwent successful complete resection through a conventional surgical approach with left ventricular reconstruction.
